NODZZZ

Photobucket


I honestly think that when it comes to "writing songs", portraying the pretty cool, simplicist non-groundbreaking events in YR life is the HARDEST thing to write about. It's easy to puke out songs about lovin on someone, or hatin on someone, or g.w. bush, right? Maybe too easy? Maybe, maybe not...

For this reason though, the Nodzzz debut long player is my favourite record of 2008. Everything about it, musically, lyrically, the feel - it's all smothered in this simplicist laid-back vibe that just seems to make all the stress of the daily grind float away in a cloud of smoke.

    What cloud of smoke? I guess you never heard the band's debut 7", eh? ("I Don't Wanna (Smoke Marijuana)" on the A-side)

    that's the cloud of smoke i'm talking about dj rick.

    i didn't want to mention that track as it's not on the album, and it was late, and i was boring myself, and it's out of print, and i'm sore cos i didn't manage to get hold of a copy...
